Well, to me the interesting thing is that you DID copy this change from openbsd, so I also want to figure out why openbsd dropped the check. Their cvslog entry implies that it was getting checked "elsewhere", but I suspect that the change in openbsd was also a mistake (I think the patch deleted more than it really wanted to). So, I want to check how openbsd's lpd behaves when I get home, and then maybe drop Theo a line. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
